Sonographers are particularly vulnerable to high levels of stress due to the demands of our jobs. We are responsible for doing the work of a technologist, performing complex, diagnostic tests on patients that require a high level of concentration, and in some cases, the job of the radiologist, providing suspected diagnosis and differentials. Pressure can stem from a variety of sources, including the physician or radiologist who is relying on our images to make a diagnosis, a manager who thinks we aren't going fast enough, a co-worker who doesn't pull their weight, or even our own high standards for our work.
In my latest book, we'll explore some practical tips and strategies for managing stress and building resilience in the face of the unique challenges of the sonography profession. Instead of rolling with the punches, you might be able to avoid some of them altogether. You can fight back, and I hope this book will give you the ammunition you need. Remember, taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's essential for your well-being and the well-being of those around you.
